Parabola

logo

Il progetto Parabola è guidato dalla comunità per mantenere una distribuzione del sistema operativo gratuita al 100% (come in: libertà) che sia snella, pulita e hackerabile. Basato su Arch, Parabola è un sistema operativo completo e facile da usare, adatto all'uso generale "quotidiano", pur mantenendo il fascino "power-user" di Arch. Aderisce alle Linee guida per la distribuzione dei sistemi liberi GNU (FSDG); che richiede che il codice sorgente di ogni parte del sistema sia liberamente disponibile, modificabile e ridistribuibile. Tutti i pacchetti Parabola sono creati dal sorgente, in chroot puliti e con la rete disabilitata, al fine di sostituire qualsiasi software e grafica nel sistema Arch standard che non rientra nelle linee guida GNU. LiveISO, programmi di installazione e pacchetti vengono forniti per le architetture CPU armv7h, i686 e x86_64.

TalkingParabola merged in main ISO and installation medium with installer

Last year Arch integrated the features from the TalkingArch project into archiso and some months ago they added an installer into their installation medium. As a result, and with some delay, TalkingParabola was deprecated and we added these features to our ISOs too. They are available in out download page as well.

Note that although the OpenRC LXDE ISO has the speech boot option, this only works for CLI. Screen reader support will be added in the future for the GUI and the current installer will be replaced with one based in Zen Installer.

[nonsystemd] NetworkManager, dbus and display managers require manual intervention

We have recently began a repackaging of [nonsystemd] packages (see #3290). The displaymanager-openrc package has been removed and specific init scripts have been added for their respective display manager (e.g. sddm-openrc for sddm, gdm-openrc for gdm and so on with lxdm, xdm and lightdm)

Regarding NetworkManager and dbus, their nonsystemd builds used to ship with their corresponding OpenRC init scripts, but now they were separated into networkmanager-openrc and dbus-openrc. Please install these when upgrading those packages.

Grub bootloader upgrade and configuration incompatibilities

2022-08-30 - Christian Hesse

Recent changes in grub added a new command option to fwsetup and changed the way the command is invoked in the generated boot configuration. Depending on your system hardware and setup this could cause an unbootable system due to incompatibilities between the installed bootloader and configuration. After a grub package update it is advised to run both, installation and regeneration of configuration:

grub-install ...
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

[From Arch] Removing python2 from the repositories

Python 2 went end of life January 2020. Since then Arch has been actively cutting down the number of projects depending on python2 in their repositories, and they have finally been able to drop it from our distribution, making it disappear from Parabola too. If you still have python2 installed on your system consider removing it and any python2 package.

If you still require the python2 package you can keep it around, but please be aware that there will be no security updates.

[From Arch] Switch to the base-devel meta package requires manual intervention

The base-devel package group has recently been replaced by a meta package of the same name.
People that had the base-devel package group installed (meaning people that installed base-devel before February 2nd) have to explicitly re-install it to get the new base-devel package installed on their system:

pacman -Syu base-devel

OpenBLAS >= 0.3.23-2 update requires manual intervention

From Arch:

The openblas package prior to version 0.3.23-2 doesn't ship optimized LAPACK routine and CBLAS/LAPACKE interfaces for compatibility. This decision has been reverted now, and the ability to choose a different default system BLAS/LAPACK implementation while keeping openblas installed is now provided to allow future co-installation of BLIS, ATLAS, etc.

The default BLAS implementation will be used for most packages like NumPy or R. Please install "blas-openblas" and "blas64-openblas" to make OpenBLAS the default BLAS implementation, just like the old behavior.

Unfortunately you will get errors on updating if you currently have OpenBLAS installed as the default BLAS implementation:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: installing openblas (0.3.23-2) breaks dependency 'blas' required by cblas :: installing openblas (0.3.23-2) breaks dependency 'blas' required by lapack

Please append your preferred default BLAS implementation to the regular -Syu command line to get around it. For example:

# pacman -Syu blas-openblas

or

# pacman -Syu blas

[From Arch]: budgie-desktop >= 10.7.2-6 update requires manual intervention

When upgrading from budgie-desktop 10.7.2-5 to 10.7.2-6, the package mutter43 must be replaced with magpie-wm, which currently depends on mutter. As mutter43 conflicts with mutter, manual intervention is required to complete the upgrade.

First remove mutter43, then immediately perform the upgrade. Do not relog or reboot between these steps.

pacman -Rdd mutter43

pacman -Syu
